I love a good, proper restoration. May Santa bring you everything you ask for! |

The cabinet is looking good. I picked up a repro bezel and marquee so all the exterior work is pretty much done. When I got the cabinet it was JAMMA conversion with Final Fight in it. No traces of Defender were left over except for the speaker and the isolation transformer. I needed a board set, monitor, power supply and wiring harness. What's the easiest way to get all this stuff? You find another Defender on Craigslist! Here's my $300 Defender that I found up in NH. The bottom of the cabinet has the usual water damage and delamination issues. The control panel is trash but original. Side art is worn in a lot of places. Coin door has hacked at a bit. This game has seen a lot of action. It sometimes works and monitor is flaky and pretty dim. This will be the donor machine for the restored cabinet. Eventually I'll clean it up and make it a Multi-Williams machine. |

Let me know what you find out about the Multi Williams. I picked up a Defender myself and have been having a hard time finding a multi CP and CPO. DeL |

I wanted to keep the Defender look so rikitiki's (This Old Game) MultiWilliams CPO and plexi are what I am probably going to pick up. It keeps that Defender theme and avoids the cluttered look of some of the other MultiWilliams overlays. I'll cut up some new plywood for the panel. |
